In digital asset management (DAM) systems, a Lightbox is the term used to describe an area within the Web site (or Web service) or other internal DAM where users can create and store a list of assets they want to reference or use at a later time. Lightboxes are common on stock photo Web sites where registered users can store images until they are ready to download them.
